The Government Hub provides political, industry and international stakeholders a unique platform to elevate an incoming government’s backing for UK aerospace, defence and space, reflecting the combined convening power of ADS and Farnborough International.

The Government Hub will operate cohesively with Farnborough International Airshow’s world-renowned international delegations programme. With more than 250 official government and civil delegations in attendance at the 2022 event, Farnborough International Airshow is on track to increase national and international government attendance at the 2024 event in July.

As proud convenors of the conversations that matter, the ADS Group is looking forward to the biggest and best milestone in the 75-year history of this world-renowned event.”
